We’re Here for Change

One Family Foundation was built to serve. Our work is guided by a simple principle: support those closest to the problem in co-creating the solution.

Our philosophy

Not “I” but “We”

 We exist not to build our name, but to amplify the efforts of communities, governments, and innovators working toward a more just world.
As honest brokers, our role is to:
Mediate cross-sector collaboration
Reduce competition for credit
Provide safe space for trust and co-creation
Remain agile, neutral, and focused on systems — not silos
